[url]http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/07/man-views-porn-using-safari-files-lawsuit-against-apple/[/url] [quote]Plaintiff (and attorney) Chris Sevier filed the document against Apple in a US District Court in Nashville, TN last month. Sevier's beef with Cupertino boils down to a simple fact: they sell machines that allow men to view porn. From his introduction (all formatting, grammar, spelling left as is): [quote]The Plaintiff loves Apple. The Plaintiff believes in Apple, as a company and knows that it has good intent. Since its inception, Apple has always been a pro-family company, Apple has always been an entity that is concerned with the welfare of our Nation's children, while furthering pro-American values. There is no reason for Apple, a private company to overly support pornography online, explicit sexual content which has led to the proliferation of arousal addiction, sex trafficking, prostitution, and countless numbers of destroyed lives. The Plaintiff respectfully demand that Apple sell all of its devices on "safe mode," with software preset to filter out pornographic content. If the purchaser of Apple's products is over 18, Apple should allow the buyer to take additional step to acquire a password from Apple in order to remove the filter to access Constitutionally protected indecent content. If the buyer is under 18, Apple should not provide the password.[/quote] Sevier is seeking damages and injunctive relief against Apple because they make products that can display porn ("or as the rest of us call it, the Internet," AboveTheLaw notes). So Sevier legally requests that Apple enables a porn-filtering "safe mode" by default on its devices. His complaint notes that "If Apple agrees to sell its devices 'on safe mode' before trial, the Plaintiff will terminate this litigation."[/quote] Is this guy serious? The debate starts here: [quote]The 50-pages contain a plethora of eyebrow-raising gems. Sevier claims his porn addiction started because of a simple typo in Safari (he was trying to access "facebook.com"). He alleges Apple's porn offering led to unfair competition between his wife and porn stars, which ultimately caused a deteriorating relationship. Sevier's electronic group, called Ghost Wars, even made a supporting [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VbaJKrRgEM]YouTube video[/url] (referenced in the complaint) "that summarizes the issues in the lawsuit as it relates to rewiring, voyeurism products liability, and systemic problems that are the direct result of our collective arrogance to not do something about an problem area [sic]."[/quote]
He should sue Dell, for providing computers that allow people to view porn. Hell, he should sue AMD and Nvidia for providing graphics cards that process the images of porn on Dell's computers. Fuck it. Sue all the electric companies because they are the ones allowing people to charge devices that can then be used to look at porn.

The idiocy is staggering.
Talk about "frivolous".
Thank fuck 'family values' and 'pro-American values' hold no sway in a court of law.
sue my company because we manufacture circuit boards.
For a second there I thought it said he was suing them because Safari CAN'T be used to view porn...

I kind of agree with the guy on only 1 reason, Chrome is listed as a 17+ app on the app store, while safari is not, that demolishes a lot of downloads for chrome from children. Apple requires each browser on the app store to be listed as 17+ barring safari (this is presumably Apple being assholes to other browsers and being hypocritcal). This guy has a legitimate case.
Yeah, good luck with that.
We should sue women for being in porn Ban this sick filth
At least sue the following companies too while you're at it: Microsoft Google Mozilla Opera Netscape (and any other small browser developers that I can't be arsed to list)

But seriously, how can any one believe it isn't their own damn fault for shit like this?

Everything he says points to his fault.
Man sues Apple because it offers freedom of thought
I'm suing the makers of windows (house windows, not computer windows) and telling them to ship all of their windows with rolled-out blackout curtains, because someone might be fucking outside
[quote]Sevier claims his porn addiction started because of a simple typo in Safari (he was trying to access "facebook.com"). He alleges Apple's porn offering led to unfair competition between his wife and porn stars, which ultimately caused a deteriorating relationship.[/quote] So can Apple settle this case by getting a porn star to marry him?
[QUOTE=Virtanen;41463248]We should sue women for being in porn Ban this sick filth[/QUOTE] How do we know he wasn't looking up gay porn?
Why is the world being run by idiots nowadays? This is a stupid lawsuit and should be dropped immediately if the cause have done no actual harm to a person's reputation and physical health

Whats the harm in a porn addiction? Doesn't cost you much for the most part.
I'm going to sue Ford because they make cars which can be driven into people, potentially resulting in harm or death.

[QUOTE] He alleges Apple's porn offering led to unfair competition between his wife and porn stars, which ultimately caused a deteriorating relationship.[/QUOTE] What. How... Why is this even a sentence? It's like the internet made porn stars materialize in his house on demand to compete with his wife
